Non-fiction book editor of the Washington Post and Hachette Books author Steven Levingston discusses his book BARACK AND JOE and about incoming president Joe Biden with Clive Priddle of PublicAffairs.

Our series on the presidency begins with two biographical episodes of the major-party candidates.For our episode on Joe Biden, we interviewed Steven Levingston, the author of, "Barack and Joe."As opposed to analyzing every step of his political career, Levingston's book examined Biden through his relationship with the man who selected him to be vice president in 2008. Levingston explains how they go from being very different types of senators (one young and reserved, the other older and loquacious), to rivals in the presidential race, to forming a careful friendship and then forming a bond that both have called familial. What does his relationship with President Obama reveal about his character and his approach to governing? How did viral pictures and videos impact the perception of their partnership?Levingston explores Biden's wounds and how Obama helped him through unimaginable loss. He also discusses what type of president Biden would be and his lifelong battle to attain America's highest office.Steven Levingston is available on Twitter @SteveLevingstonAxelbank Reports History and Today is available on Twitter and Instagram @axelbankhistoryHere is a schedule of release dates for episodes as part of our series on the presidency:***September 29th: James Poniewozik - "Audience of One: Donald Trump, Television and the Fracturing of America"***September 29th: Steven Levingston - "Barack and Joe: The Making of an Extraordinary Partnership"***October 6th: Stephen Knott - "The Lost Soul of the American Presidency: The Decline into Demagoguery and the Prospects for Renewal"***October 13th: Lindsay Chervinsky - "The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution"***October 20th: A.J.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes journalist and author Steven Levingston to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss his new book BARACK AND JOE: The making of an Extraordinary Partnership

In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, we’re sharing the program “Remembering Birmingham: Civil Rights and Constitutional Change” held here at the National Constitution Center in 2017 and moderated by Jeffrey Rosen. This conversation features Sarah Collins Rudolph, a survivor of the September 1963 bombing of the 16th street Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama, carried out by white supremacists, that took the lives of four young girls including Rudolph’s sister. Rudolph is joined by Steven Levingston, author of Kennedy and King and Hannibal Lokumbe, composer in residence at the Philadelphia Orchestra. Hannibal begins by playing a moving piece that he composed on the trumpet in honor of Rudolph and the other victims of the bombing. The panel then explores the tragedy's lasting impact on the civil rights movement and the African American community. Questions or comments about the podcast?

Podcast guest is Steven Levingston, Non-Fiction Editor of The Washington Post and author of the book, "Kennedy And King, The President, The Pastor and the Battle Over Civil Rights" The actual interview was conducted shortly after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and that event, along with it's aftermath, is discussed in conjunction with topics covered in Mr. Levingston's book.

The Civil Rights Movement is often looked back upon as a time when social activism sparked real political change. During that time, the United States saw some of its greatest leaders guide the country through turbulent years. Martin Luther King Jr. and President John F. Kennedy provided different models of leadership, which some argue are needed today. In this episode, Professor Julian Zelizer interviews Steven Levingston, nonfiction editor at the Washington Post, about the battle over civil rights. Levingston is the author of "Kennedy and King: The President, the Pastor, and the Battle over Civil Rights", “Little Demon in the City of Light: A True Story of Murder and Mesmerism in Belle Époque Paris” and “The Kennedy Baby: The Loss that Transformed JFK.”
